Answer / guest

Rs.22176

Assume his salary was Rs. X

He earns 5% raise. So his salary is (105*X)/100

A year later he receives 2.5% cut. So his salary is
((105*X)/100)*(97.5/100) which is Rs. 22702.68

Hence, solving equation ((105*X)/100)*(97.5/100) = 22702.68

X = 22176

Answer / harshgandhi126

Assume that his original salary is x Rs.

1 year he geets 5% raise so his salary is Rs(x+0.05x)
after 1 year he earns Rs (x+0.5x-0.025x)

So. x+0.5x-0.025x=22702.68

So x=22148.956 Rs
